Frequently Asked Questions about Last Will and Testament
A Last Will and Testament is a legal document that allows you to express your wishes about how your property and assets should be distributed after your death. It also allows you to name guardians for minor children and appoint an executor to manage your estate and carry out your instructions.
In most states, a will does not need to be notarized to be legally valid, but it must be properly witnessed. However, many states recognize a "self-proving affidavit" which is notarized and attached to the will. This can simplify the probate process later. Our will template includes a notary section for this purpose.
To be legally binding, a will typically needs to meet these requirements: 1) You must be of sound mind and legal age, 2) The will must be in writing, 3) The will must be signed by you, 4) The will must be signed by at least two witnesses who saw you sign the will (requirements vary by state). After generating your will, you should print it, sign it in front of witnesses, and have them sign it as well.

Yes, you can update your will at any time while you're alive and mentally competent. Major life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of children, or significant changes in assets are good reasons to update your will. You can either create a new will that revokes the old one or add a codicil (amendment) to your existing will. In either case, the new document must follow the same signing and witnessing requirements as the original will.
